Harper's Young People has been called
"the model of what periodical for young

commentator is amply sustained by the
large circulation it has attained both at
home and in Great Britain. This success has
been reached by methods that must COM

The Latest Word.

The very latest is ''jounce" Mash,
masher and mashed are not obsolete, but
ancient, which is worse. TO be up with
the times you must consider the young
man whose eyes have rested on you in
fond approval, not, as heretofore, reduced
to the formless state of the jelly fish, but
shaken up, jolted, as when eucountering
some obstruction in the downward sweep
of the smooth going toboggan. "He's
jounced," you say as you observe the
broken bones Of the victim and turn to
fresh fields and candidates new Great
indeed is philology and great is the young
woman. Her capacities for enriching the
English language are without bounds

that issue half dime and dime novels for

about $4,000. Some Of the books run into
several editions. One Of Mcrcdith's yarns
was put on the press seven times. An
other story also sold enormously. About
400 authors arc engaged in writing these
books. The prices paid vary greatly Ono

cheap. For the $10to SIS writer has to

GRINDING OUT TIE cory.


The concern that issues these instruc-
tons requires 1000 to $4,000 words, and
at the cheapest rate would be Ave and one
third words for o cent. The cheap rate
named thus pays three-nfths the price of
ordinary copying. The authors Of estab-
lished popularity get very satisfactory
prices. The number Of persons who ex-
pertinent with the business Of writing
these stories is declared to be wonderful
Some OF the libraries reject three out Of
four manuscripts, Others eight out Of ten,
not counting the productions of the writers
that are on the regular corps and who
can grind out the same kind of copy with
the precision of machinery. The latter
are supposed to get up their stories on the
principle Of q game of cribbagc, and they
simply tukc the pegs out of one hole and
stick them in another, adding variety and
producing the originality called for in the
instructions by changing the starting
point from the center to the corners, or
vice versa, and picking up the pegs in q
diagonal line or around tho circle, a3 the
case may be. Some Of tho best writers in
the country arc stated to have attempted
this line Of writing, but have failed,
branching out into irrelevant dialogue
and padding up with descriptions, not be-
ing able to keep up the interest in stu,
alton or dialogue. The latter is absolutely
essential, as the average boy has to slide
down the hill Of ono page very fast or he
won't try to climb the top Of the next.
One of the library publishers was
stopped by Anthony Comstock from pub
fishing the Jesse James series, under the
law prohibiting the making Of heroes ou
Of notorious criminals. The publishers
say it takes an edition Of 1000 to pay fol
o sixteen page dime book and 10000 fol
the half dime work. The business is now
picking up from the depression of the pas
few years. During the war the dime
novels sold enormously among the soldiers
The war library is playing out, the salei
having dwindled to very light figures

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.
A Mother Kills Three of Her Children,
MORALLY Wounds Two Others
and Commits Suicide.
No Cause Other Than a Quarrel With Her
Husband Can be Assigned for
the Slaughter.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Jan. pa horrible
murder was committed here this morn
ing between and s O'Clock. James
Cabolek is a well-to-do carpenter living
on Independence street, near the city
limits. This morning he and his son
went to work shortly before O'Clock.
The wife and mother, Antoinette, had
been out of temper ct the breakfast-table,
and refused to talk to her husband. Di-
rectly after breakfast she sent Henry,
her tifteen-year-old son, to grocery
store, ard still another son to milk de-
pot. When they returned they could not
get into the house. Going into the back
yard, they saw James, the thirteen-year-
old son, in the closet bleeding from six
teen wounds in bis left side. They
fastened away and called their
oldest brother, who had gone off
with the father, and returning
the three boys forced an entrance to the
house. They discovered Tony, an eight
yesr-old girl, bleeding from dozen cuts
in her left side. On the floor near by
were Mamie, five years old; Antoinette,
three years old, and Willie. three months
old, all deaf from dreadful stabs near the
heart. A bloody pair of shears told the
story. a hunt was made for the mother.
She was found in the cellar hangi' g from
the rafters dead. She had killed her
three children, MORALLY injured two
others and then committed suicide. The
two children still alive were removed to a
neighbours house, but they will die. No
cause for the terrible deed is gwen. The
husband does not think his wife was in
